Making sense of complex inhomogeneous systems composed of many interacting species is a grand challenge that pervades basically all natural sciences. Phase separation and pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems have been largely…
In this work, we investigate a reaction-diffusion system in which both species are influenced by self-diffusion. Due to Hopf's boundary lemma, we obtain the boundedness of the classical solution of the system. By considering a particular…

We analyze the movement of a starving forager on a one-dimensional periodic lattice, where each location contains one unit of food. As the forager lands on sites with food, it consumes the food, leaving the sites empty. If the forager lands…
This paper is devoted to the use of the entropy and duality methods for the existence theory of reaction-cross diffusion systems consisting of two equations, in any dimension of space. Those systems appear in population dynamics when the…
Mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems with bistable nonlinearity are useful models for studying cell polarity formation, which is a key process in cell division and differentiation. We rigorously show the existence and stability of…
This paper is concerned with a diffusive Lotka-Volterra type competition system with a free boundary in one space dimension. Such a system may be used to describe the invasion of a new species into the habitat of a native competitor. We…
We study the propagation speed of bistable traveling waves in the classical two-component diffusive Lotka-Volterra system under strong competition. From an ecological perspective, the sign of the propagation speed determines the long-term…
